Orthopaedic Research & Documentation System

Clinical data, documentation,
PROMS, research, and more.
One place.

Built by orthopaedic surgeons for orthopaedic surgeons. One clinical pipeline drives every output — enter the encounter once, and the consult note, operation note, PROMS dispatch, and research record all follow. The consequence: substantial time recovered, every week.

Not an EMR. Not a scribe. The surgeon's documentation, outcomes & research layer — alongside whatever you already use.

One platform, not six
Replaces the fragmented stack

Surgeons cobble together separate tools that never talk to each other — and none were built for the way you actually document a subspecialty case. ORTHOReD brings them into one place, driven by a single clinical pipeline.

🎙️

Dictation & AI scribes

Replaced by structured capture that produces the consult and operation note directly — deterministic, no transcription.

📒

A separate logbook

The surgical logbook is auto-generated from the cases you already captured.

🎓

A separate CPD log

CPD activity logs itself as you work — nothing to reconcile at renewal.

📊

A research spreadsheet

The research dataset accumulates automatically — every encounter is a structured data point.

📨

Manual PROMS chasing

Questionnaires dispatch and score themselves at fixed timepoints, with deterioration alerts.

🗂️

Scattered patient resources

Information sheets, rehab protocols and exercise programmes live on the platform and attach to the note.

One pipeline · every output
The data is the record. The document is a view of it.

The surgeon enters structured clinical content once. From that single entry the platform renders the consult note, operation note, PROMS dispatch, and research record — the same pattern as an online order producing a confirmation, invoice, and receipt.

Clinical data
🩺

Subspecialty-specific pipeline

Demographics, background, history, examination, diagnosis, plan, surgery, follow-up — structured fields, not free text.

⏱️

Fast by design

Data import on returning patients, preset templates for surgical technique and management, and saved equipment preferences — all working to save you time.

🎯

Standard cases fly. Edge cases fit.

Templates deal effortlessly with your standard cases — most encounters are a few taps. When a case is non-standard, the full structured system is right there to capture every detail.

Consult note & operation note
📄

Generated automatically

Both documents produced from the captured data — same day, no transcription, no backlog.

🎛️

Render to the format you need

PDF (branded, primary) and Word at Phase 1; an EMR-paste rendering for Epic, Cerner, athena and equivalents from Phase 2.

PROMS
📈

Automated at fixed timepoints

Pre- and post-operative questionnaires dispatched automatically, scored server-side, shown as longitudinal trajectories.

⚠️

Deteriorating-trajectory alerts

A significant score drop alerts surgeon and PA simultaneously — no coordinator required.

Research
🔬

The dataset accumulates as you work

Every encounter is a prospective structured data point — no separate research entry, no extraction, no harmonisation.

📊

Cohort builder & export

Filter on any field, plain-English cohort description, CSV for SPSS/R/Stata — data extraction from weeks to thirty seconds.

The patient record
🗂️

Just what the surgeon needs

The record holds what matters clinically — categorised for ease of use, not a data dump. Find the diagnosis, the operative detail, the prior notes at a glance.

🏷️

Images tagged by diagnosis

Every image is tagged to its diagnosis, so the whole library becomes searchable that way — pull every rotator-cuff case, every specific finding, in seconds.

And more
📚

Logbook, CPD & billing

Surgical logbook, CPD log, billing tracking and complications log — all auto-populated from the same encounter capture.

📎

Patient resources, attached

Information sheets, rehabilitation protocols and exercise programmes linked to each consult note for the patient.

🖼️

Image capture & storage

Drag-drop, browse, or iPad camera capture at the encounter, rolled into a diagnosis-tagged patient gallery.

🛡️

Permanent medicolegal archive

Every generated document and linked resource — stored, hashable for integrity, reconstructable indefinitely.

Built for trust

Your patients' data, protected at every layer.

Security isn't a feature bolted on — it's the foundation a medicolegal archive depends on. Encrypted, access-controlled, hosted in your region, and immutable by design.

🔒
Encrypted end to end

Patient data encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in your jurisdiction's region.

🙈
Private by default

Images and documents stored privately — no public links, no shared URLs. Nothing is exposed beyond your deployment.

🛡️
Immutable archive

Generated documents are write-protected and hashable for integrity — a record can't be silently altered.

Compliance-ready

Built to meet healthcare data-protection requirements, with a full audit trail underneath.

Key differences
Why ORTHOReD is different

Not a generic EMR, not an ambient scribe — a subspecialty-specific platform built for the individual surgeon.

Built for the surgeon, by subspecialty

EMRs serve hospitals and bill payers; ORTHOReD serves the surgeon's documentary life. Each subspecialty has its own taxonomy of anatomy, classifications and treatments, built by senior surgeons in that field and captured as structured fields, not buried in prose.

  • Audience: the individual surgeon, not the institution
  • Morphological and anatomical classifications as structured data
  • Shoulder & elbow now; hip, knee and others to follow

Capture once, generate many

The clinical pipeline produces structured field values. The consult note, operation note, logbook, billing, PROMS schedule and research dataset all derive from that one capture event — automatic, immediate, and mutually consistent.

  • One entry writes to every downstream output
  • Generated immediately — no transcription, no backlog
  • Every word traces to a deliberate field selection

One platform, alongside what you use

Documentation, logbook, CPD, PROMS, equipment preferences, billing codes, patient resources and the research dataset all live in one application — not a stack of disconnected tools. It sits alongside your institutional or practice software, not in place of it.

  • In private practice, PDFs flow through your PM software
  • From Phase 2, EMR-paste for Epic, Cerner, athena and equivalents
  • A permanent, immutable medicolegal archive underneath
What surgeons say
Time recovered, every week
Leveraging structured capture, I produce a higher-quality note while saving time — notes complete 3–4 times faster, and I can clearly communicate my thinking to referring providers.
